Lawsuit Funding Relieves Financial Pressure in Car Accident Lawsuits

Losing a loved one is a terrible shock and loss. The grief and emotional turmoil is made far worse when the death was caused by another person’s negligence.

No amount of money can ever compensate you for your loss, and a lawsuit may be hard to consider when grieving over the death of a loved one. Nevertheless, it is important to speak with a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible.

Compensation recovered in a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden for the surviving family members, as well as bring responsible parties to justice. However, the longer the litigation process takes, the more financial strain is placed on the survivors.  What can they do in the near-term to pay the bills?

Financial pressures can force innocent victims to settle a case too soon, for too little. Before that happens, plaintiffs should consult the legal finance experts at Lawsuit Financial. We understand the financial situation facing plaintiffs and know the lengths that insurance companies will go through to reach a less-than-favorable settlement offer.

Obtaining a lawsuit cash advance requires no credit check or employment verification; we fund strictly on case strength and usually within 24 – 48 hours of receiving and application and case documentation. Funding is offered as non-recourse, meaning no payments are required until a settlement is reached and plaintiffs are not obligated to repay the cash advance if the case is lost.

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, put the justice system to work for you. Use litigation funding to ease your financial burden and give your attorney the time needed to obtain full value in your case. An application can be done online or by phone.

Litigation Funding Can Make a Huge Difference in a Plaintiff’s Ability to Continue a Lawsuit


A 42-year-old Kona man was riding his bicycle along the roadway when the driver of a 2011 Ford pick-up truck veered onto the shoulder and struck him. The bicyclist was taken to the hospital with critical injuries, where he was pronounced dead. The truck driver was arrested on suspicion of negligent homicide and operating a vehicle while under the influence. He was later released pending further investigation.
 
If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident resulting from the negligence of another, you may wish to seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Once you have hired an attorney and your case filed, you may need to consider your financial situation, especially if your deceased love one was the primary, or sole, breadwinner.
 
How will you handle paying the medical expenses and funeral and burial expenses? How will you pay the mortgage and cover expenses associated with daily household needs? To add further to your hardship, delaying a case on purpose is not uncommon for insurance companies. They can afford to hire high-powered attorneys with one goal – profits! The longer they delay the more pressure you, as the plaintiff, will feel. When it becomes too much to bear, you may ask your attorney to reach a settlement, no matter the cost.
 
Plaintiffs can avoid an early settlement with the help of a lawsuit cash advance.
 
When a litigation funding company steps in to provide a “lawsuit loan”, it is not a loan in the traditional sense. Why? First of all, approval is based on the strength of the case; credit rating, employment status, and collateral don’t matter. If approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments; the funding company is repaid from the proceeds of the settlement. Should the funded client lose the case, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived.
 
It is really that simply so don’t settle for pennies on the dollar when the insurance company tries to downplay your loss with a low settlement offer in your time of need. Look to an experienced provider of litigation funding; look to Lawsuit Financial. Give us a call, toll free, at 877-377-7848. If you’re ready to get started, you can complete our online application.

Driver Ran Red Light Killing a Woman and Her Granddaughter

Many drivers will run a red light or stop sign simply because they are in a hurry or distracted. Some will speed up at a yellow light trying to get through the intersection before the light turns red. Occasionally, a red light accident will happen because a traffic light has malfunctioned. Negligence on the part of driver or government entity can result in an auto accident lawsuit, but it may take time for authorities to determine the cause of the crash. When a delay occurs in the litigation process and the plaintiff is struggling financially, lawsuit funding can be a viable, risk-free solution.

A woman and one of her grandchildren were killed in a multi-vehicle crash after another driver ran a red light. Two other grandchildren were injured. Firefighters had to cut the victims from the vehicle. The driver responsible for the crash has been charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter, and six counts of recklessly endangering another person. Court records show that she was cited in November 2016 for allegedly failing to stop at a red light and for speeding in December 2016.

There are no words that can comfort family members of such a tragic accident, especially when the death not only resulted from the negligence of another person, but could have been prevented. The surviving family members may wish to pursue and wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages for medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and other damages.

Handling a wrongful death case is not an easy task. There are a number of legal issues that arise and because insurance companies are well represented by adjusters and attorneys, it is important for the family to seek and retain an experienced auto accident attorney.

Unfortunately, the legal process can drag on for years; insurance companies are notorious for dragging out a claim until the victim gives in to the lowest possible settlement. In order to wait for a fair settlement, yet avoid experiencing a shortfall in finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship, a plaintiff may benefit from lawsuit funding.

Once an attorney is retained and the lawsuit has been filed, it could be as little as six months, but more likely a year – or even years – until a trial date. It is not uncommon for the defendant’s attorney to delay in hopes that the plaintiff will settle too soon for too little. In the meantime, the litigation process can put a strain on financial resources, especially if the family was already struggling to pay the bills. Lawsuit funding can often be the financial staying power necessary to pursue the case to trial.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance that can assist with mortgage/rent payments, funeral costs, medical expenses, and other household living expenses during the pending claim. To be eligible for funding, all a plaintiff needs is a strong case and legal representation. There is no need for a credit check or employment verification. Lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that there are no payments until the case settles. If the case is lost, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance. Funding can be approved in as little as 24 hours, with the funds wired directly into the plaintiff’s bank account or a check sent via overnight mail.

If you are in a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, don’t let your losses extend to your finances. Contact Lawsuit Financial at (877) 377-7848 or complete our online contact form to determine if a lawsuit cash advance can provide the financial staying power you need to achieve full compensation for damages.

Failure to Diagnose Resulted in Delayed Treatment For Endometrial Carcinoma

Sometimes a missed diagnosis doesn’t cause harm to the patient, however other times it can worsen a condition or lead to additional injuries. The failure to make a diagnosis or an error in diagnosis may be considered negligence on the part of the doctor or medical staff. Damages resulting from a medical malpractice lawsuit usually include compensation for current and future medical costs, as well as punitive damages.

A recently filed Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit alleges that a woman’s cancer was not diagnosed or treated, resulting in late diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.

The complaint maintains that the medical care providers failed to adequately perform or interpret a pathology report that would have indicated a diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma, a very serious type of uterine cancer. Additionally, the lawsuit states that because of the delayed diagnosis the woman was not treated in a timely manner, ultimately worsening her condition. The lawsuit requests damages greater than $50,000.

If you or someone you love has paid for a doctor’s negligence, if you are living with consequences of a misdiagnosis, or if a loved one died because of a doctor’s negligence, it may be important to contact a medical malpractice attorney. You may be able to recover damages for lost income, extensive medical bills, or/and funeral expenses.

Typically, medical malpractice lawsuits will take years to resolve. A financially strapped plaintiff is a target for any insurance company. That is where lawsuit funding can help.

Lawsuit funding is a service that provides victims and their families with financial assistance to help get through the long litigation process. Without this option, desperate plaintiffs are often forced, by greedy insurance companies, to settlements too soon, for too little.

Lawsuit funding is there when you need it most – risk-free. There are no up-front charges, no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no hassle. Best of all, if you lose your case, you owe us nothing.

For those in a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, seeking financial stability, contact Lawsuit Financial for a free, no-obligation lawsuit funding consultation. If you are ready to apply, it can be done quickly and easily with our online application.

Lawyer's Head Injury Sparks $50M Lawsuit against WMATA

A “personal injury” is that life-changing moment when you are seriously injured as the result of someone else’s negligence or carelessness. Coupled with being unable to work, you may be faced with a mountain of medical bills, financial and emotional stress, and the inability to pay even your basic, everyday living expenses. As you face this difficult time, you may also find yourself waiting a long time for your case to produce justice. For those in this unfortunate situation, litigation funding could provide some financial peace of mind.

A Washington, DC attorney has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA), alleging that he was severely injured when a metal pole fell and struck him in the head at a Metro station. According to the suit, the incident occurred as the man passed through the fare gate. He was able to stumble onto an upward escalator, seeking help from people at street level before being transported to the hospital. The man sustained "severe and prolonged bodily injuries" and is no longer able to work, according to the suit. He may require a lifetime of medical care.

The lawsuit claims that WMATA "knew or should have known" that the machinery posed a danger if not properly maintained and secured." The incident was captured by at least one WMATA surveillance camera, the suit said.

While the $50 million in claimed damages may seem high, for a Harvard Law graduate that had a starting salary of $200,000 and who is no longer able to work, and possibly facing a lifetime of medical treatment/care, it could actually be low.

In an injury case where a defendant is found liable for the injuries caused, a plaintiff will be entitled to receive monetary damages for medical expenses and other damages as well as lost income --past and future (earning capacity). This is calculated by looking at person’s past earnings prior to the injury, and using that rate of pay to determine the total amount of lost income. Future lost income is the income a person will not be able to earn because of the injury.

Most plaintiffs do not have the financial resources to withstand months, even years of litigation, especially those out of work and faced with ongoing medical expenses. Without a source of income it is easy to go through your savings and find yourself facing an impossible financial situation. When this happens, plaintiffs often agree to settle for less, much less, just to make ends meet. A better alternative would be litigation funding through Lawsuit Financial.

With a lawsuit cash advance, known as lawsuit funding, you won’t have to compromise your ability to obtain the compensation you deserve. Simply put, litigation funding is a lawsuit cash advance on the money you will receive once your case settles, without a long delay and no strings attached. This type of funding is known as nonrecourse, meaning that you owe nothing until your case has settled, and if you lose your case, the repayment is waived. When you aren’t under financial stress, it is much easier to focus on recovering from your injuries and getting the compensation you deserve.

The easiest and fastest way to get started is by completing an online funding application. This takes five minutes or less. There is no need for a credit check or employment verification. Approval for funding is solely based on the merits of the case. Next, we will request case documentation from your attorney. After evaluating the case, if you application is approved, both you and your attorney will sign a funding agreement. Your funds can be wired directly into your bank account within 24 - 48 hours.

If you have been injured in an auto accident and finding it impossible to pay the bills, you may benefit from litigation funding. Call Lawsuit Financial or complete our online contact form. Our case evaluations are absolutely free!

Family Files Wrongful Death Suit After Couple Dies from Separate Falls at Oregon Nursing Home

Falls in nursing homes are common because residents are generally older, have more chronic conditions, and have difficulty walking. The nursing staff must properly assess a patient for a fall risk and then devise a plan that would minimize the risk for a fall. Failure to do so, can give rise to a nursing home lawsuit.

The family of an elderly couple has filed a wrongful death lawsuit after the couple died within two months of each other at a nursing home in which they lived. The suit cites incompetent and negligent care led to the deaths.

The lawsuit alleges that both patients were classified as high fall risk when they were admitted to the facility. The male resident fell 13 times within an 8 month period; his wife fell at least four times. The male patient also never received doctor recommended therapy to reduce his risks of falling, according to the complaint.

In addition to the nursing home, a hospice center is named as a defendant. After the male patient fell in November 2014, he was transferred to hospice care. The lawsuit alleges that the center gave pain medication without proper nutrition, ultimately causing the man to die from a medication error.

The female patient died two months after her husband, and four days after falling while a staff member pushed her in a wheelchair. The lawsuit alleges that negligence against her also includes a disturbing incident where fruit flies were discovered in her mouth from not receiving proper dental care.

A third defendant, a rehabilitation facility, allegedly engaged in a fraudulent deal to share patients with the nursing home, without making residents aware of this arrangement.

As lawsuits often uncover, the nursing home was found to have been reported to the Oregon Department of Human Services 20 times in the last 4 years alone for not preventing injuries sustained at their facility. The plaintiffs are asking $2.7 million from the three defendants.

Suing a nursing home for negligence is not an easy decision, and one that can lead to years of litigation. That doesn’t mean you should not fight for justice, even if your finances are impacted by the decision. With litigation funding, plaintiffs have the ability to stay financially afloat and wait for the largest possible settlement.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advances that allows plaintiffs to receive a portion of their settlement upfront, without risk, while the case is being resolved. The funds can be used for medical expenses, funeral expenses, daily household bills, and more; there are no restrictions on how the cash advance is used. Litigation funding is not a loan; factors such as employment history and financial standing are not required. The only concern is the validity of the lawsuit and the likelihood of its success. Unlike a bank loan, there are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case successfully settles. If the plaintiff does not win, the repayment is waived.

Once an application and case documentation are received, the in-house underwriters at Lawsuit Financial will review the strength of the case. If approved for funding, the cash advance can be available in as little as 24 hours.

Are you currently in a pending nursing home lawsuit, but struggling with the bills? Acquiring a lawsuit cash advance can be the monetary flexibility needed to hold out for a greater settlement. Call Lawsuit Financial to discuss your financial needs or apply for funding online.

Widow Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Alleging Negligence By Truck Maintenance Providers


There are no words to describe the loss of a loved one, especially due to the careless actions or negligence of someone else. Whether from medical malpractice, auto accidents, product liability, and workplace fatalities, when a wrongful death occurs, the victim's family has the right to file a lawsuit.

A widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit against truck maintenance providers, alleging their negligence led to the death of her husband.

The December, 15 complaint alleges that the man was on the job setting emergency brakes for a truck when the vehicle stared to roll downhill. The man lost his balance and fell between the wall and the truck. His internal organs were crushed and he suffered severe and agonizing pain until his death a week later. The lawsuit alleges the defendants were negligent for failing to provide proper inspection, testing, repair and maintenance of a truck. The plaintiff seeks trial by jury and an unspecified amount in damages.

Unfortunately, wrongful death claims can take years to settle; time many families don’t have especially if the victim was the bread winner. When the insurance company denies, delays, and defends, the financial burden is increased. Without financial assistance, many families may be unable to proceed with their case; often times settling for considerably less than the wrongful death is worth. Before accepting an unjust settlement offer, these plaintiffs should consider lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a financial tool that gives plaintiffs the staying power to wait for a fair settlement. It may be the only financial lifeline to paying medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, and other important bills. By securing lawsuit funding, a plaintiff’s attorney has the time necessary to obtain full compensation. After reviewing a wrongful death lawsuit funding application, if approved, funds are usually available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no employment verification; funding is based solely on the case strength. Repayment is only made if, and when the lawsuit is won and settled. In the event the plaintiff loses, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety because litigation funding is a non-recourse transaction.

If you are struggling financially while awaiting a settlement in your wrongful death case, don’t be tempted to accept less than full compensation. Lawsuit Financial Corporation has great sympathy for every client who comes to us at such a challenging time and do everything possible to help. Call us at (877) 377-7848 or complete the online application for a free case funding evaluation.

Plaintiffs Don’t Have To Settle For Less Out Of Desperate Need For Money

When someone is killed due to the negligence of someone else, legal action by the family of a deceased loved one can be taken. This process oftentimes requires an experienced attorney to obtain full and just compensations for damages. Even then, a lawsuit or legal claim may take months, even years to receive the highest possible settlement. During this time, most plaintiffs will face financial hardship, especially if the lost loved one was the primary breadwinner. No one wants more debt by racking up credit cards or taking out a bank loan -- that is if a bank would even extend a loan. Lawsuit funding may be the only hope to withstand the litigation process and avoid a financial disaster such as foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy and ruined credit.

Two children of a man killed in a head-on collision filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the estate of the woman who caused the crash. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene, according to a police report. Neither driver was wearing a seat belt.

The lawsuit alleges that the woman was driving too fast, failed to yield the right-of-way, traveled in the wrong direction, and was driving under the influence at the time of the crash. The suit seeks unspecified damages to compensate for the man’s death, as well as to pay for funeral and other expenses.

Now that the lawsuit has been filed, if the plaintiffs are in need of immediate cash they may want to consider lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is cash received in advance of a settlement that, hopefully, will permit the plaintiffs to deal with their crucial expenses right away, enabling them to wait out the long, legal process and achieve appropriate justice. The funding process begins with completing a one-page application. Next, Lawsuit Financial will request case documentation to determine the strength of the case; there are no application fees, credit checks or employment verification. If the case is approved for a lawsuit cash advance, the money can arrive within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment is only made once the case is won and the settlement received. If the case is lost, the plaintiff is under no obligation to repay the cash advance.

For any victim of an auto accident who has retained an attorney, filed a lawsuit, and in need of financial assistance, Lawsuit Financial encourages you to call us before settling for less than full case value or struggling to the point of losing your home and credit standing. Call us toll free at 1-877-377-7848 for a free, no-obligation analysis of your case funding situation.

When Plaintiffs of Medical Negligence Face Mounting Bills and Few Options, Litigation Funding is a Perfect Solution

One of the most common medical mistakes is the failure to diagnose a medical condition. Such actions can prevent a patient from receive treatment which could significantly impact their condition. When health care providers breach their duty of care to you, they should be held accountable. Once a lawsuit has been filed, lawsuit funding may help stay the course until a settlement is reached.

A Chicago woman recently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of multiple health care providers.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that she suffered serious physical injuries, including being left legally blind, after the defendants allegedly repeatedly failed to diagnose a tumor from 2012-2016. The lawsuit names several doctors and medical facilities as defendants in the case. The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount greater than $50,000.

The time it takes to reach a settlement in a medical malpractice claim depends on the complexity and strength of the case. The last thing this woman needs to worry about is how to keep up with her financial obligations.

When plaintiffs are facing mounting bills and few options, pre-settlement litigation funding could be the perfect solution.

Litigation funding helps financially-strapped plaintiffs handle unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses. When plaintiffs are financially stable, they can remain in a case longer in order to pursue a larger settlement.

Funding is not provided against assets, but rather the strength of the case and the potential settlement. There are no out-of-pocket fees, no credit checks, no income requirements and no employment verification. Once case documentation is reviewed and the strength of the case determined, if approved, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

Repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, Lawsuit Financial would not require repayment. That is because we assume all the risks.

If you are living with consequences of a medical mistake, the last thing you need to worry about is how to keep up with financial obligations. Rather than worry about money problems or letting a financial emergency force you and your attorney to settle your medical negligence case for less than you deserve when Lawsuit Financial may have the mechanism you need to pay your bills, keep your credit standing, and fight for your rights.

Chain-Reaction Crash In Construction Zone Involving Five Vehicles, Causes Major Back-Up For Hours

Hundreds of fatalities in auto accidents occur every year in construction zones, often because drivers do not exercise the proper standard of care. The Federal Highway Administration reports that from 2009-2014, 4,400 people died as a result of an auto accident in construction zones; 200,000 others were injured. Most were rear-end collisions.

A chain-reaction crash involving five vehicles, causing major back-up on the interstate, began when drivers in the southbound left lane began braking in a construction zone. The driver of a Ford Expedition was unable to stop and rear-ended a Toyota Tundra. The Tundra rear-ended a Ford F-150, which hit the back of a Mazda 6 as the Expedition spun into the center lane and was hit by a Nissan Rogue. The driver of the Expedition was cited for careless driving.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) said several factors contribute to crashes in construction zones, including the increasing number of drivers on roads, unfamiliarity with road/traffic patterns, and driver distractions. Often times, motorists will wait until the last minute to change lanes. They also ignore signs to slow down.

While the driver of the Expedition, the one that initiated the chain-reaction crash, may be accountable for all of the resulting injuries and damage that may not always be the case in a multi-vehicle accident. Multiple parties may have acted negligently, contributing to the magnitude of a crash. For example, Driver A may be speeding and can’t stop in time before rear-ending Driver B. Driver C is approaching and has plenty of time to stop, however Driver C is texting at the time and slams into Driver A, who spins and slams into Driver D. Driver C’s may also be held liable for negligence.

This is only one example of how liability in a chain reaction crash can be complicated, which is why victims seeking compensation for damages should consult an experienced auto accident attorney who knows how to fully investigate the case and identify all potentially liable parties. The attorney will notify the at-fault parties and/or his/ her insurance company. The process of collecting evidence, seeking medical attention, and trying to get one’s life back to normal will begin. But, until the victim’s injuries heal and the case resolves, a plaintiff could find himself/herself in financial trouble. Some lawsuits take months, even years to resolve. With lawsuit funding in place, plaintiffs have the money to take care of their financial responsibilities, and can hold out for an appropriate settlement.

A lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial doesn’t require that the applicant be employed, or even have good credit. Lawsuit funding is completely contingent upon the outcome of the case; repayment is made once the case is won and compensation received. Simple as that.

If you have been seriously injured in an auto accident, your pain and suffering are more than enough for you to worry about – let Lawsuit Financial help take care of your bills. Give us a call at 1-877-377-7848 for a complimentary evaluation of your case. One of our experienced representatives will answer any questions and help you understand the lawsuit funding process.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit Alleges Driver was on the Phone When She Struck and Killed Triathlete

According to a recently filed wrongful death lawsuit, a motorist was on the phone with her employer when she struck and killed a bicyclist in July. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount in damages to cover lost financial support and funeral expenses as well as noneconomic damages. The driver and her employer, Dignity Health are named as defendants.

The deceased, a world-class triathlete, was riding in the bike lane on Highway 227 when the driver of a Chrysler 200 drifted off the right shoulder of the road and struck her from. The woman was thrown from the bike and landed in a ditch. She sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Initially, investigators said they did not believe the negligent driver was texting or on the phone at the time of the crash. However, phone records show the negligent driver was communicating with her employer, at the time of the crash, according to the lawsuit. It also alleges she did not call 911 following the collision. The Assistant District Attorney has also confirmed that cell records showed the driver was using the phone at the approximate time of the crash. She was, later charged with a single misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter, to which she has pleaded not guilty. The criminal case is ongoing.

Losing a loved one is an extremely difficult time for any family member. The husband of the deceased said he would rather have his wife back, but hopes that what happened to her will serve as a lesson that distracted driving is not okay.

The fact that a guilty driver has been charged does little to pay the bills for the family of the deceased. The litigation process will take time, possibly years. In the meantime, the plaintiff still has to pay the bills. If the family is struggling financially, they may look to lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance offered to litigants in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of their case. A lawsuit cash advance is a smart move for most plaintiffs because it lets them wait out the long, legal process for settlement or verdict justice, without having to settle too soon for too little because the insurance company has all the time, leverage and money, and use these tools to its advantage. There is no cost to apply, no credit checks or employment verification, no monthly payments to make, no upfront fees of any kind, and no restrictions on how the money is used. Best of all, it is only repaid once the claim is settled. Because repayment is contingent upon a successful recovery, if the lawsuit is lost, there is no obligation on the part of the plaintiff to repay the cash advance.

The application process takes less than five minutes online or by phone. If the case is approved for funding, Lawsuit Financial can direct deposit or overnight mail the money within 24 – 48 hours.

If you have lost a loved one due to someone’s negligence, you may have the right to a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. An experienced attorney can help you fight to obtain the justice and compensation that you deserve. Once the lawsuit is filed, if you need financial help during the pending claim, turn to an experienced, caring legal finance company. Turn to Lawsuit Financial. We can help ease your financial burden while you wait for your lawsuit to settle.
